Hey there! I’ve packed this blog post with some fantastic finds and personal projects I’ve come across. You’ll discover a super handy GPT-4.1 Prompting guide, a delectable Princess Cake recipe, and a fun, no-fuss way to make Chocolate Easter Egg Nests. Plus, peek into tech with DMX lighting for makers and learn how DolphinGemma is helping decode dolphin communication. Dive in and explore with me!

• Princess Cake: , or Prinsesstårta, makes a spectacular centerpiece for any celebration, but despite its regal appearance, this simplified version is far easier to make than it looks The original recipe from Sweden called for three layers of soft spongecake and custard, coated with stiffly whipped cream and covered with a thin layer of green-dyed mandelmassa (almond paste), finished with a single pink rose While the essence and color scheme have endured, almond paste has been replaced with sweeter, smoother marzipan and the pleasing domed shape — thought to allude to a crown — is a modern addition
• Chocolate Easter Egg Nests: Loved by adults and children alike, Easter nest “cakes” are the perfect no-fuss baking activity for the whole family These couldn’t be simpler: Just stir, portion, chill and fill with as many candy eggs as you can If you can find golden syrup (a wondrous sweetener from Britain and a product you’ll never regret having in your pantry), you’ll get a more complex sweetness and chew, though corn syrup will work, too.
• Squishy Tech: DMX Lighting for Makers: DMX controls are the brains behind big-time performances and events. Set up this professional stage lighting protocol with just an Arduino!

• What is Entropy?: People say many things about entropy: entropy increases with time, entropy is disorder, entropy increases with energy, entropy determines the arrow of time, etc.. But I have no idea what entropy is, and from what I find, neither do most other people. This is the introduction I wish I had when first told about entropy, so hopefully you find it helpful. My goal is that by the end of this long post we will have a rigorous and intuitive understanding of those statements, and in particular, why the universe looks different when moving forward through time versus when traveling backward through time.
